is there any difference between the 2
i notice some visiual differences but are they of any gain
like the sort of 'hinge' it sits on at the bolts?
thanks chaps

the devil brace has mounting points for the side of the suspension turret, it also clears the carb top. you can also remove the brace without unbolting the parts that are bolted to the turrets.

i personally think its far too overpriced. im mean wow it was fitted to cup cars hayhoe! a waste of money unless you can find one for say £60.

Better off getting an s&k brace! does everything the same as the devil,look's v similar but you can close your bonnet without denting it unlike the devil.

Well if you're comparing an item that just attaches to the bolts that hold the top mount on - to something that completely reinforces the turret towers and massively stops turret flex then its a complete waste of money to spend that extra £80 :rolleyes:

yeah should just bolt in, got the best thing you could have for the car with the devil one... ;) might need to jack the front of the car up in order to get access to the bolts on the inside of the turrets though, depends how low your car is...

S&k are gay ...:D, dent your bonnet indeed chief dogger...:laugh:, the best brace you can get in my opinion just a little pricey, i feel strangely sexual when i look @ them..:laugh:, but then again i once said to my wife"go on then divorce me , i have the gordini"...:laugh:
